Wprime, Critical Power, 6-minute Power, and Variable Intensity Races
In this video, Dr. Seiler thinks out loud—with math—to explore how critical power and variable intensity races might connect in practice.
This Is an Interval
Trevor Connor revisits the fundamentals of aerobic versus anaerobic pathways, and helps us understand more advanced principles of interval training.
Mission Impossible: Determining Your True Threshold
How accurate are threshold numbers? And why is it so difficult to find accurate threshold numbers? We discuss several common ways to find your threshold and their pros and cons.
